Several new claims have recently been staked and in some instances large amounts have been taken out In a very short time.

N Wednesday, June 20, 1900 THE SUMPTER MINER. THAT CON GAME IS OFF. Sumptcr People Will not Invest in Alaska Mines. It looks like a con game. In fact, It bears such a striking resemblance to that popular pastime that it failed to work. One, J. H. Bush, related the alluring tale of great placer gold diggings in the far away, frozen north. He had been to Alaska and knew exactly where these rich diggings were, and are yet undlscsv ered by any other living man. He told a good story, a straight story, one that Is far more enticing than the old, familiar gold brick song and dance which catches the best of us, occasionally. Bush's first proposition was that he would show a representative of a local syndicate where these fabulously rich mines are, If a purse of 51500 were raised for a grub stake, lie to receive a certain Interest In the property. Tills was ac cepted promptly and the amount of money raised without difficulty. Some of the shrewdest business men In town were in on tills good t...
